Build trend radars
Highlight trends impacting your business
Can your teams easily tell which trends are just noise—and which demand action? Use ITONICS radars to compare dozens of trends in one clear view. Highlight by color, size, distance, and filters to spotlight what matters most to your strategy.
Break down information silos
Disconnected insights lead to duplicated work and future blindsight. Break silos between teams with a shared platform that connects people, trends, and knowledge—so your teams can spot what matters, faster.
Share a vision of the future
If the future is blurry, no one can take concrete action. Embed your trend radar in boardroom presentations, intranet pages, or public sites with one click. Make your vision visible—and win buy-in from the right stakeholders.
Inform decision-making
Are your decisions driven by individual opinion—or collaborative insight? Use collective trend evaluations to surface change drivers and guide leadership toward aligned, future-focused actions with the ITONICS radar.
Understand trends’ speed of change
Investing too early or too late kills any good idea. Use the ITONICS Innovation AI to track shifts in trend momentum. Compare Speed of Change scores on the radar to see what’s accelerating—and what’s losing relevance.
